So, if you are eating the freight on the divinycel, and you have the coosa. What would you need for the coosa if you sent it back to bateau and would they take it back f it was paid for? And can the transom be built with coosa and rest of boat ply? I am pretty sure I am building a plywood ph22, but...

Good afternoon all, After having further communication with Jacquesmm, Jeff and Ried, unfortunately, I have decided to not move forward with this build. Jacquesmm did provide me with the information needed to complete the hull but I have decided to have a bare hull built professionally. I don't know...

My inserts were almost too narrow at 1.25", too. Try to avoid skimping. Some people purposely leave inserts high or low to find them later. I am on the hardtop. Order enough coosa for the transom and for cleats and i nserts. Benchtops in 1/2-3/4" coosa are wise as is the entire gunwhale. ...

[/img][/img][/img] All, this thread has taken a negative tone and I just want all to know that Steve is working directly with Jacques regarding the lamination schedule(s) in attempt to meet Steve’s requirements. Your continued comments are welcome as long as they are positive and don’t take further ...

ProfrsX Why do you keep insisting on a 250HP motor, are you build this for bass tournaments? Jacques just said he would give you the laminating schedule for a 125HP but not for a 250HP motor. Like I posted above a 250HP will give you speeds around 70mph, speeds that Jacques does not design his boat...

Thank you Jac. If you can please send me your recommended lamination schedule of both ways you mentioned so that I may equip the hull with a 250hp I’d appreciate it. Thanks.

Then I should be able to build the entire hull by this method correct? I could use some “cheap” insulation foam board in place of the divinycell then grind it away and use my divinycell for stringers and bulkheads. No? Yes but I still prefer the 2nd method: build the bottom as a single skin panel. ...

“You will need Corecell A in a high performance resin like the Silver Tip post cured or even Phase II. The keel and chines must be made with a single skin transition. Those parts are difficult to build. When we plank the hull, all along the keel and chine, we replace the Corecell with a cheap throw ...

From the designer: I was out of two for a couple days and could not reply earlier. Please, do not get the lamination schedule from a friend or neighbor, get them from me, the designer. There are several Phantoms built in foam sandwich and some hybrid. The very first one was around 1994, a PH18 that...
